Summary

Early-onset epilepsy-5 with or without developmental delay (EPEO5) is an autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by the onset of various types of seizures late in the first decade or during adolescence. Focal seizures are common. Most affected individuals have developmental delay, variable impaired intellectual development, and/or behavioral and neuropsychiatric abnormalities (Stogmann et al., 2013; Abdulkareem et al., 2023). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of EPEO, see 617290. [from OMIM]
